Jamie Bosse: Author, Financial Planner, and Mom teaching kids about money

On the latest episode of The FitMoney Podcast, Executive Director Jessica Pelletier was joined by Author, Financial Planner, and mom of four Jamie Bosse on not only why talking to kids about money can be so hard, but how we can overcome that fear.


For kids today, money is getting tricky. It's much more than a cash world. From payment apps, to tapping cards, to online purchases and packages on our doorstep, the existence of a transaction isn't as visibly evident - so how do we ensure kids understand the transaction taking place? What can we do to demonstrate and emphasize healthy financial behaviors?

The value of teaching kids about money from Jamie Bosse

As Jamie shares in the new episode, money is so wrapped in emotion, behaviors, and things not really financial at all. We know we're supposed to be saving. We know we're supposed to have an emergency fund. But we don't do them. 90% of decisions we make are not rational. They're based on emotions, habits, and behaviors that are all hard to change.


When we forget that many financial decisions are behavioral in nature, we depend on the math lesson to teach healthy decision-making. Behavior is not learned when you're an adult. The best time to develop healthy financial behaviors is starting young.


Hear more about Jamie's work and FitMoney's mission to empower students everywhere with the financial tools they need.

Congrats on getting the first post up. Since this space seems open for experimentation, I’ve been testing browser games that don’t need installs. The RNGdle is a fun time-killer with badges for primes and palindromes. Curious what you’ll publish next.

Classic watches hold so much detail, and photographing them well takes patience. If you ever need to pull crisp stills from a video clip of a dial or movement, a video to frames converter can help. For text extraction from images, Video to Frames is also handy.

Interessante pensar no Conap e na importância de diagnósticos precisos. Em qualquer área, boas ferramentas de teste evitam problemas futuros. Para quem lida com telas, por exemplo, usar um recurso de dead pixels black screen ajuda a mapear defeitos rapidamente, garantindo um trabalho mais confiável, assim como uma boa análise técnica faz diferença na gestão pública.

Ciekawy tekst o ukrytych kodach – sam uwielbiam takie niespodzianki, ale po całym dniu scrollowania lepiej sprawdza się krótka rozrywka. Ten codzienny 12-Letter Word Puzzle potrafi wciągnąć na trzy minuty i zostawić w głowie złotą myśl. Dzięki za inspirację do szukania nowych zakamarków internetu.

Designing a stunning blog is one thing, but keeping posts readable is another. I often check my draft length with a 文字数カウント tool, since it handles spaces, line counts, and reading time. Handy when trimming sections without breaking the flow.
